The condition of the victims hasn’t been released yet. 7 people have been stabbed. The psycho who stabbed them has been shot and killed by police
Update: 5 people were killed
Fuck, they are saying one was a baby… 😢
Who the fuck stabs a baby?! I’m so glad the guy was killed. 0 chance of rehabilitating a person like that and frankly insulting to the victims to even try.
@maniacalmanicmania @No1 Either way, it’s heartbreaking.
Five killed.
Five dead according to police, six dead according to ambulance. That may include the attacker himself.
I watched the press release the ABC posted, and the police said that 5 were dead “as a result of his actions”, so I’d take that to mean their tally excluded him
Yes I should have said ‘Five killed by the attacker’. I was watching the police presser when you posted this which is where I got the figure from.
Good on all those stores and staff that helped protect people, hide them and keep them safe.
Sadly, now they’re going to be closed while the investigation goes on. Hope they get some support.
It’s kinda weird none of the news are mentioning what the jersey is that he’s wearing.
The most description I’ve heard is he had a green and gold shirt
Also was he going full kit wanker?
Hope it results in easier access to free mental health programmes. Like how Port Arthur led to the expensive (and politically brave) gun buyback scheme.
That’d be ideal but you know that the perpetrator isn’t white the LNP is going to flog their heritage as the cause. Particularly as their main line of attack at the moment is “Labor is soft on migration”
